PJ: So are we now believing that Pres Trump will be the key to moving this RV along?

I believe it is in the hands of Iraq. We all must realize that even a Pres Trump is not really in control, so as pleased as many are of this new development not sure we can hold on to Pres Trump being the rain maker. Really think we are just waiting, on what? well anyone’s guess.

Trump is going to be very busy, but the fact that Abadi congratulated him was a good feeling. I do believe much of what we see is theater, but I am not in attendance of any secret meetings....Darn It. LOL

Scotchie: Iraq may or may not control the RV, but there is a list of items that need be accomplished, and the IMF and World Bank are watching every move

Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar Al-Abadi tweeted support Wednesday for President-elect Donald Trump, saying he looked forward to working with the U.S. to fight terrorism.

Abadi is four weeks into a major U.S.-backed operation to retake the Islamic State city of Mosul. Associated Press Baghdad-correspondent Susannah George tweeted that some Iraqis are elated at Trump’s election, and believe he will be tougher on terrorism than former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton might have been.

The defeat of ISIS in Mosul is likely far from over. Pentagon officials warned reporters before the operation began that ISIS was likely to convert to insurgency after losing the city of Mosul. “If anything, it’s gonna be more difficult,” Canadian Army Brig. Gen. Dave Anderson said, describing the coming fight against ISIS as an insurgent force.

Other Iraqis said they are cheering for Trump to show their support, in the hopes that he does not withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq after the Mosul operation is finished. Trump has previously indicated he does not support telegraphing his military or foreign policy intent, in the hopes ambiguity will confuse the enemies.
